my phone is interop locked, its an htc hd7 with mango update. im trying to backup a sms thread that has gone tooo long and can't be deleted.
is there a way to backitup while keep the phone interop unlocked?
i was able to make a complete phone backup as well from a zune like backup tool. does anyone know how to extract sms from zune backup?
This is a question, and belongs in the Q&A sub-forum.
That said, I don't know of any way to back up SMS without being interop-unlocked. The full-phone backups are encrypted and not usable for this purpose. The only other way I know of to back up SMS is to copy messages one at a time and save them somewhere, and that would be a lot of work in a thread as long as you say.
is there an easy method to get interop unlock on mango for hd7? i already tried the connection setup wizard using interop unlock as country but no luck.
i know the maxunsignedapp bit has to be changed.

I was just wondering if there were any drawbacks to debranding a phone just to get the update?
I have done some searches and nothing has come up so far for this question.
Thanks!
Oh and as you know that the big plus for debranding is that you can get NoDo.

Eh, I dont know what version you get when you update officially but it may be different... I really doubt there's any drawbacks though.
That's what I am gathering and it makes sense if Microsoft wants to keep the WP7 together as a whole.
Thank you!
The drawback is you don't get updated apps from your carrier + phone manufacturer. But all you have to do is rebrand it and just download the apps from the market, if you really want them.

Now that is what I was expecting. I have my phone unlocked with the Chevron tool and if in the future I can't add back that string then I am hosed?
Will I at least keep the registry editor on the phone through the update process so I can then change it back?
Thanks for the response!
If you do the little hack to prevent re-locking (via Samsung Tools or the registry edit), the unlocked state should persist across the NoDo update as long as you don't do a hard reset. You won't, however, be able to use Chevron to unlock if you hard-reset the phone or otherwise manage to re-lock it after installing NoDo.
As for carrier apps, I can still access the AT&T AppCenter, useless as their stuff may be. That's either based on a different registry entry or on your SIM card, not on this update branding entry. I haven't been able to discern any effects other than whether the update servers will give you the updates or not.

All of your information will be backed up and carry over to the new update, don't worry about that.

Do you know where that regedit is off the top of your head? I never applied it in the past so I have always had my Chevron unlocked phone relock after a week or two.
I will also look around here but thought I would ask you first.
Thanks for helping out everyone!
EDIT: And yes AT&T doesn't have many apps that I care about but I do like their account login app to check on how many minutes and texts that I have used.
EDIT 2: I found the Samsung Tools that you were talking about. Here is a link to the page for anyone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924497

MyAT&T runs on any phone, as long as you have a network connection.
I think there is no drawback to unbrand. AT&T provides nothing other than update delay.
Does anyone know of the exact registry value that gets changed to prevent the relocking?
I know that the Samsung Tools will write the value but I can't find out what it changes.
I'm just trying to find it so it can be posted here and we can get it out to others before they update to NoDo.
EDIT: Found the string to keep it from relocking.

Prevent Phone from Relocking
The phone is unlocked, but will relock every time it syncs to Zune unless one of these hacks are done.

In an installed registry editor, navigate to the following key and change these values.

PLEASE HELP.... I have went back and forth more times than I can count between Mango and Nodo. The unlock.xml from the jailbreak Mango works but once I edit it.... it becomes useless. Why? Please tell me why because I am dumbfounded.
Hi all,
To start I have a Samsung Focus and I'm able to follow the instructions to unlock my device as in the [HOW TO]Omnia 7 mango jailbreak thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152422
I'm fully able to load the unlock.xml through diagnosis tool. Problem is when I try and add any further changes it doesn't work at all. I was hoping someone could look at the unlock.xml, attached to the thread, I'm trying to use and maybe see something I missed.
As we all know going back and forth from Nodo to Mango takes forever, which is why I'm asking for help.
To me it looks like it should work... especially since the original unlock.xml works from the original thread, but as soon as I edit it it no longer works at all. Any suggestions would be encouraged.
Settings > Cellular > Add APN (I use this way)
Use that. No need to add it via XML file. Or install Network Profile tools, though I'm not sure whether that tools worked or not.

Very simple, make a provxml and save it as "UTF-16FE", diagnosis only read this encode
Thanks A lot!!!!!! Worked like a charm!
That's something I never thought of. Thanks again man... I've spent so many hours trying to get a couple registry tweaks in Mango
Now HTC connection is back online. I think it will work on device that have HTC update.
Someone plz find out is HTC have new way to edit registry or they r fix driver.
If they have new method to edit registry can we re-bulid homebrew and it will work again?
Stuck with mango 7720 w/o HTC update for a long time.
Moved to WP7 General
Only development threads in this section please. Please use the read before posting sticky for guidelines.
Take it easy
O_G
Beware - I have 7740 with the HTC updates and ran CS today. It came up with Verizon Wireless and ran just fine (so the update fixed it enough to allow it to run at least; gave me the carrier not found error before) BUT after which I lost 3G.
Had to roll back to a backup and update again the 7740 to get 3G back (did not want to do a hard reset but that is supposed to work as well). Not sure how it would work for other carriers but if you have Verizon be warned...
I am leery of using CS now for anything and hope Heathcliff or GoodDayToDie finds an IU method. Until then I am not using this app. All my previous Theme color edits on NoDo stayed going to Mango and I have Chevron Unlock so can load homebrews (at least ones not relying on native code) so I can wait for a IU.
P.S. Also, it runs every time you do a restart of the phone; I deleted the app and not using it.
@LiFePo4: Had you installed the test version of the HTC Interop Unlock app? It screws up the Connection Setup app so that it can't be used normally. This process is reversible, but just uninstalling Interop Unlock doesn't do the reversal. I need to modify the app to make the reversal easy (you have to delete some files, which it can do but won't do automatically).
If you *hadn't* installed the test version of Interop Unlock since the last time you reset/restored your phone, and you still got Connection Setup not working correctly for you, then that's just weird.

I did not have anything installed as far as trying IU (and never did); everything on the phone is stock. Yes, it is weird...
There was a similar issue with the VZW Trophy when Mango first came out and people who had the CS on their phone at that time reported loosing 3G. The behavior of the new CS seems to mirror that so I think it is related to Verizon and the CS settings (you would think the main purpose of CS is to FIX connection issues with your carrier and it appears to break it on VZW). I am guessing some setting in the CS data base does not match VZW's APN settings correctly as of now.

P.S. The HTC CDMA Trophy (Spark_W) and the HTC Arrive (CDMA as well) are really PITA's when in come to trying anything for IU. Samsung and LG have methods and all other GSM HTCs have at least custom ROMs or other methods people are looking at but the CDMA versions of HTC devices have nothing at this point. Add to that the irony that each of these devices are the sole WP7 offering from Verizon/Sprint and we are hosed
I am going to be upgrading my HD7 to a Radar, and I was wondering if there is any way I can backup all of my data (game saves, sms messages, etc) and transfer them to my new phone.
I am a WP7 Developer, so I can have my phone Dev Unlocked, if that helps at all
Thanks everyone!
Not possible. Every backup is tied with a Windows Phone ID and it cannot be transferred.
Also please ask your future, non software development, questions here --> Windows Phone 7 Q&A
Thanks

Hey I'm new to the forum. Ii was on here the other night and found a thread which had a guide on how to back up appx from W8.1M and W10M offline. but I can't seem to find it again. I've even used the search tool. but no luck
I recalling seeing some app that required interop unlock, but I think it only backed up app data. I don't recall seeing anything for backing up the actual appx - that I'd be very interested in. Even better if it'd be possible to extract apps that have been delisted off of my WP8.1 phone to get on my W10.
